Overview
- The Cuerpo Médico Forense concluded on Tuesday that Cristian 'Pity' Álvarez is psychiatrically compensated and has the procedural capacity to face the homicide trial.
- Two defense-appointed experts signed the evaluation in formal disagreement, stating Álvarez was 'vigil and not lucid' and describing persistent neurocognitive deficits that, in their view, require continued supervised hospitalization.
- Álvarez was moved from Hospital Tornú to the mental health clinic Solar Colonial before the forensic exam and remains interned there while the court reviews the new report.
- Prosecutors gave the forensic team three recorded interviews, including a phone conversation with Moria Casán, which officials say were considered when assessing his ability to understand and participate in proceedings.
- The Tribunal Oral N°29 set a hearing for Friday, October 9 to decide whether to resume the trial with safeguards, order longitudinal evaluations, or suspend the process, and the defense has warned it will file administrative and criminal complaints over transfers and care if judges press ahead.
